Campus, College & School Names

ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Campuses

For external audiences, spell out the complete name of a campus the first time you refer to it, unless the context and nature of the document require an abbreviation (for example, in an advertisement). Using the approved university abbreviation on first reference is acceptable for internal audiences when the context allows.
